Chapter 424 It seems I'll have to make a trip to see the Great Ancestor.
Dynasty.

The emperor sat upright on the dragon throne, his face extremely gloomy.

As the overlord that dominates the entire Eastern Region, the imperial dynasty is the most timely and efficient at gathering any information it desires.

Before long, the emperor was presented with a detailed account of the situation on the front lines.

Upon reading the message, the emperor's face darkened, and his aura grew increasingly gloomy.

lost.

The army at the front was defeated, and utterly defeated.

Commander-in-Chief Divine Martial King was killed in battle, and two Saints and an Ancestor also perished at the hands of a peak Lesser Saint of the Great Zhou Dynasty…

As for the main army, needless to say, it was almost completely wiped out...

This outcome caught the emperor somewhat off guard.

The emperor never expected that the army at the front would suffer such a complete defeat.

What the emperor didn't expect was that his dynasty's ancestor and two saints couldn't even defeat a peak Lesser Saint of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Instead, they were killed by a peak Lesser Saint of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This was utterly unbelievable.

Originally, the emperor thought that the Great Zhou had used some extraordinary resources to cause the fall of his dynasty's ancestor.

Unexpectedly, he was only at the peak of the Lesser Saint realm.

"What a great Zhou Dynasty! It's wonderful!"

"A mere peak Saint has managed to cause the downfall of my dynasty's ancestor and two Saints. I underestimated you."

The emperor slammed the news in his hand onto the dragon desk, his gloomy aura finally unleashed.

Upon seeing this, all the palace maids and eunuchs around them knelt down with a thud, bowing their heads and trembling.

In this era of survival of the fittest, elimination of the weak, and supremacy of imperial power, palace maids and eunuchs like them had no human rights whatsoever in the eyes of their masters.

If the master gets angry, he can easily vent his anger by beating them to death, just like stepping on a few ants.

Therefore, faced with the emperor's anger, these palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation, not daring to even breathe loudly.

The emperor ignored the kneeling palace maids and eunuchs, and instead stood up from his dragon throne, pacing back and forth with a gloomy expression.

The army that marched to the Great Zhou at the front was defeated, and the ancestor and the two sages also perished. This was a major blow to the dynasty.

In particular, the fall of the patriarch and the two sages caused the overall strength of the dynasty to drop by a level.

However, none of these are the most important things.

Most importantly, how should we deal with the Great Zhou?
Even the patriarch couldn't defeat the Great Zhou, and instead, he perished. The Great Zhou has clearly become a major threat to the dynasty.

If the Great Zhou cannot be destroyed with swift and decisive action, and is allowed to continue developing in this way, then the dynasty's ruling position will truly be in danger.

The emperor frowned, his mind racing.

He had just summoned several important ministers to discuss this matter, but ultimately they could not reach a conclusion.

The situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty was truly too strange and somewhat unfathomable.

In other dynasties, the imperial court would only need to send a semi-saint to suppress the rebellion.

However, the Great Zhou Dynasty dispatched ten half-saints, two saints, and the ancestor, but none of them could suppress it. In fact, the ancestor and the two saints were also killed.

Such a dynasty cannot be treated with utmost caution.

"It seems I'll have to make a trip to see the Great Ancestor."

After pondering for a while, the emperor thought to himself.

This situation had exceeded the emperor's expectations and involved the safety of the dynasty, so the emperor dared not make a decision on his own.

Thinking of this, the emperor did not hesitate for a moment, and his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

……

The Imperial Mausoleum. The Emperor arrived outside the mausoleum, but before he could speak, an aged voice hissed from within: "Come in!"

Upon hearing the sound, the emperor did not hesitate and stepped inside.

"Greetings, Great Ancestor."

Upon entering the imperial mausoleum, the emperor bowed to an elderly man seated beside the dragon vein.

Despite being the emperor of the dynasty, the emperor still had to obediently bow his head before this old man.

Because this old man is the guardian deity of the dynasty, he is far superior to the emperor in both strength and status.

The dynasty has two patriarchs who are the true pillars of the dynasty and the source of its confidence in deterring all major forces in the Eastern Region.

One of the patriarchs has already perished in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the imperial dynasty still has another great patriarch, who is the old man before us.

"I knew you were coming."

The old man glanced at the emperor, his face expressionless.

Despite this old man never leaving his house, nothing that happens in the dynasty can escape his notice.

"Great Ancestor, the Third Ancestor perished in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now my dynasty..."

Before the emperor could finish speaking, the old man interrupted him: "I know what you want to say, but you are the emperor of the dynasty. The rise and fall of the dynasty depends on yourselves. The only thing we old folks can do is to protect the dynasty and ensure its continued existence."

"As for the rest, that's up to you, the emperor of this dynasty, to decide."

The old man said in a hoarse voice.

"By the way, apart from our Eastern Region, the other three major dynasties have all run into problems, and it seems that something has also happened to the Imperial Court."

The old man seemed to remember something and spoke again.

what?
Upon hearing the old man's words, the emperor's expression changed slightly.

The Emperor knew that anything that could prompt the Grand Ancestor to point out a problem must be no small matter.

However, the other three great dynasties, like his Azure Dragon Dynasty, were all overlords who ruled and guarded their respective regions, so their strength was self-evident.

How could there be a problem?

Moreover, all three dynasties encountered problems?
Could it be that the other three great dynasties, like his Azure Dragon Dynasty, also encountered a powerful dynasty like the Great Zhou that suddenly emerged?

Then there's the Imperial Court, the ruler of the world who has swept across the land and whose power dominates all directions. Whether it's a dynasty or an imperial court, everyone must obey the orders of the Imperial Court.

If something were to happen to the Imperial Court, the impact would be significant.

Thinking of this, the emperor looked at the old man and immediately asked, "Great Ancestor, what has happened in the Imperial Court?"

"What problems have arisen with the other three major dynasties?"

The emperor had a bad feeling.

"The other three great dynasties are all controlled by the Demon Clan and the Demon Court, as for the Imperial Court..."

The old man didn't finish his sentence, but his words immediately changed the emperor's expression.

The other three great dynasties were controlled and dominated by the Demon Clan and the Demon Court.

Doesn't this mean that, apart from the Eastern Region, the other three regions have fallen into the hands of the Demon Clan and the Demon Court?

How can this be?

The Emperor knows that the other three great dynasties are no less powerful than his Azure Dragon Dynasty. How could they be easily controlled by the Demon Clan and the Yao Court?

Moreover, there is also the existence of the Imperial Court.
